Gen. Fairchfld.

Washington Cor. New York World
At the funeral of Senator Logan Gen
Fsirchild of Wisconsin wore the uniform
of the Grand Army. He is the successor
to Gen. Logan in the command of the
Grand Army. This gentleman attracted
some attention because he has been
spoken of as a presidential possibility.
He hiss a handsome, hawk-nosed, clear
complexioned face. His color, however.
shows the following effect of advancing
time. His sandy hair has become very
thin. His slight side whlskers are en-
tirely gray. The rest OF his tsce is clean
shaver, with the exception of gray i'm
perial which lies as close to his face as q
sticking plaster. The veteran officer has
only one arm. The empty sleeve, which
was pinned upon his left breast, has been
to him, his critics say. the sole basis Of
his political capital. He was fer many
years our consul-general at Paris, and
after that our minister to Spain He is q
yer" gentlemanly- looking man, but among
this as-emblage of public men he had q
weak look. He was overshadowed By the
positive characters about him.

Our Railroad Facilities.

The cattlemen of Texas are agissting the
question of q packing house IL this state
somewhere. Houston, San Antonio, Vic
to-ia and Fort Worth are bidding for this
enterprise. This is tie proper step in the
right direction, and we are in hopes Fort
Worth will be the lucky city for the loca-
ton of this packing hoQse. Why can't
the csttlemen of Texas have market ct
their own doors as well as to ship their
cattle TO Chicago every year? Thus
spending enough every year in shipping
their cattle 60 that market to erect an
immense establishment for the pur-
pose of packing their meat right
at home. The reason we favor
the location of this enterprise
at Fort Worth is that there is already a
large refrigerator plant at that place and
it is the most central city for the
stockmen. 1t also has better railroad
facilities than any of the other points
spoken Of, and We believe the cattlemen
will see it to their own interest to have
the packing house erected at that place.

It is understood thct the proposition of

satisfactory and viii be accepted, and che
road built to that city and Graham as
well.
Thirty miles of grading on the Fort

for the ties and rails, and e@0 teams are
at work on the balance OF the;Ioad to
GraGbury.
President Icnes of the Fort Worth and

however, until the road will be operated
TO that point.
1t will soon be time to report progress

The road is coming beyonda doubt.
This morning the Calf, Colorado and
Santa Fe train that leaves Galveston will
have reclining-chair car attached, and
the train that leaves Fort Worth Tuesday

nidcent cars will be free to those riding
on through first-class tickets, and only O
nominal charge will be made to passen-
gers riding between stations. Four OF
these reclining-chair cars reached Fort
Worth over the Texas and Pacific q dav

anything ever seen in Texas in the way of
a passenger coach.

The Coal Companies Will Resume Work
Tho LorilIard Strike
JERSEY CITY, n. j., Jan. 16.-The
Pennsylvania Railroad Compsny's yards
at Hansimu's Bove, Jersey City, was in
vssied at about O'Clock this morning by
party of about fifteen strikers and theiI
sympathizers. They marched directly to
were engaged in placing train
of forty-e!ght Gondola coal cars
upon the the transfer barges.
The coal was to be sent to Highbridge,
n. Y, for use of the New York elevated
roads. This hiss been done nightly since
the strike was inaugurated and tbs
strikers had Just heard of it. The brake
men were ordered to quit work in tones
that brooked no refusal. They complied
and left the cars. The strikers followed
them up the yard as far as
Henderson street, and here the
strikers remained for nearly 40 hour.
When it was seen that the brakemen did
not return, the invaders marched through
Henderson street in the direction of
HobOken. During the intervim
several of the brakemen returned
to the yard from the Warren
street entrance which was not guarded
by the strikers. Word was telephoned to
them, when the latter disappeared and
the brakemeD then resumed work, and
with the assistance of clerks, watchmen
and other employees of the company
succeeded in placing the remaining cars
upon the floats which we're promptly
towed away. The entire delivery was
made without further trouble. The situa-
tion at the other railroad yards and coal
docks is unchanged. No disturbance
is reported during the day. The coal
companies have announced their intention
of resuming work with o. without
their former employees tomorrow
morning. The Jersey CITY police have
received instructions to remain at the
station-hOuses when not on p4trol duty
until further orders. Patrol wagons will
be provided to transfer officers in case of
a disturbance arising.
There is no change whatever in the
strike at Lorillard & Co.'s tobacco works,
and none of the $1,000 Idle en-
ployes will resume work to-
morrow. Efforts will be made tomorrow
to adjust the differences between the firm
and its employees, and it is believed the
strike will be shortlived.

THE ATCHIsON,s WORK,

THE POWERFUL CORPORATION GETS A
ROAD INTO ST. LOUIS FROM KANSAS
CITY.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. l6-Not With
standing the denial from New York that
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail
road had any interest in the recent election
of Mr. Hinckley of Chicago as president of
the st. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado
road, the Giobe-Democrat makes the fol-
lowing statement: The Atchlson will
enter St. Louis over the St.
Louis, Kansas City and Colorado,
of which it has acquired control, and will
push through to Kansas City as
rapidly as men and money can do the
work When Hinckley was made pr. ST.
dent of the st. Louis and Colorado on
Friday, it was by direction of the Atchi-
son, and he will likely remain in that
position until the line is completed to
Kansas CITY, when it will formally be
taken by the Atchison company. An
attorney of the AtchiSon was pres
ent at the meeting in ST. Louis Friday OF
the directors of The Colorado, at which
Hinckley was elected president. His
presence was known to only few people.
The road will be completed to Union, in
Franklin county, within sixty days, and
will not be built ito Hannibal, as
orders have been issued to
push directly on to Kansas City
to a connection with its new owners, the
Atchlson, Topeka and Santa Fe. The
Atchison will not be openly known as
the owner of the Colorado until it's COM
pletion to Kansas City, but will furnish
the money and direct the construction of
the new line

VINO has Just returned from New York,
says that negotiations are in progress
looking to the consolidation of that road
with the Missouri Central Railroad, which
will make sure the construction of one
new road between here and Kansas City.
The directors of the two companies
will hold meetings here on
February to take sction on the PROPOSE
tion. If satisfactory arrangements are
made a road will be constructed on
short route and of easy grade through the
center OF the state, which will open up

An Unfavorable Report on Bosque's New
Temple of Justice.
Special to the Gazette.
MORGAN, TEX, Jan. 16.-It seems the
court house question is not settled yet in
every respect. The report of Architect
Bristol, who was engaged by the commits
sioners' court to examine the work so far
done and report in what particulars, if
any, it does not accord with the speciti
cations, is sure to get the people of the
county wrathy again. Mr.. Bristol cites
seventeen instances in which the work is
not in conformity with the specifications,
a few of the most important are as fol-
lows:
"The stones used are not all sound and
of good quality. Exterior pilasters, at
corners of main walls and by all open
Jugs, are not cut even for, and are not
set straight or plumb. About one-third
of all outside walls, not yet covered with
brown mortar, have no through stone
bond, and we can discover no sign of any
in the portion of walls that are brown
coated, while each third course is, by the
specification, required to be through
stone. The walls are not carried
up to roof-full thickne IS as specified.
The sustaining arches over openings are
set too fat and have no skew-back to
sustain the thrust of the arch when under
pressure, but, as built, thrust against
small rubble work.
In view of the fact that this court
house will cost in the neiehborhood of
$50, 900, if the report of Mr.. Bristol is
accepted by the people as reliable, which
it very probably will be, as Mr.. Bristol's
reputation as an architect is said to be
first-class, there will have to DE some
great alterations made before Bosque's
new temple of justice is accepted in due
form. q.

A Big Railroad Deal.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The Mail and Ex-
press says of the deal between the Rich.
mond and the West Point Terminal Com
pany and East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad Company: "This pur-
chase will add 1888 miles to the 2202 al
ready controlled by the Terminal Com
pany, and give it commanding position
in the South, one that is practically impreg-
nable. 1t is curious to note that all this
mas been done by purchase of stock.
The East Tennessee controls the Mem
phis and Charleston by stock ownership.
the Terminal controls the Granville by
stock ownership, aud the latter controls
the lines in its system by lease. The
Norfolk and Western has been left out,
but it is not likely to suffer much on that
account, and there is no reason to sup
pose that the amicsble relations now ex-
listing between that line and the East Ten
nessee will be disturbed in the least.

FAY AND HER SPIRITS.
A Fair Medium at the Baltimore Academy
OF Music.

Baltimore American.
Miss Anna Eva Fay gave spiritualistic
seance at the Academy of Music last night
to an audience which filed the house in
every part, but which left, in a large
measure, disappointed with the character
and number of fests performed, though a
number of them were loudly applauded.
There were several opera parties in even
ing dress in the boxes, while among the
spectators were DR.. G Stanley Hall, pro-
lessor of psy chology at the Johns Hopkins
University, and some of the students, be-
sides number of prominent citizens and
their wives. 1t was $50 when the per.
formance began, and a goodly portion OF
the two hours during which the entertain
ment was given was taken up by one of
Miss Fay's assistants, who kept on max
ing what he called "brief statements"
but which really comprised a great many
unnecessary words and repstitions. Not
withstandirg his frequent appeals for
order and silence, the skeptics in the au-
dierce, of whom there we're great many,
kept calling to the committeeman to
exsmiue here and there, and whenever
the committeeman were motioned by the
assistant to seats other than those they
chose themselves, significant "Ahsr'
found expression in various parts Of the
auditorium. After two judges, who lad
been selected by the audience, refused to
serve, Messrs. Weaver and Il. H. Lucke
volunteered and came upon the stage.
They examined the cabinet, which thu
lecturer termed enclosure. 1t was
harmless, and was at a later
period during the performance, at the
suggestion OF a skeptic in the dress circle,
removed to another part of the stage. 1t
was turned upside down and found to be
a plain wooden affair, with rollers at the
bAttom and curtain in front. An iron
ring was fastened with screw-eye to the
board which supported it in the back.
Miss Fay then entered, attired in
handsome pink silk dress, cut en- train.
Cotton bands were then tied about the
hands, but the gentlemen, notwithstand-
ing the directions to pull the knots tight,
seemed disinclined to draw the bands too
closely about the frail hands. They were
e6en told to sew about the knots. Mr..
Lucke was here in his element, this being
